They have been calling around for a replacement top but have been told that Chrysler has these on back order with no date of when they might have them in (the shop thought it would be months) and there was no third party tops available (not that I would want one). My car is currently in the DC area (I brought it up on the auto train to keep it safe--out of the hurricane season--ironic isn't it?) but now in my paranoia I want to drive her back to Florida asap and have the top replaced there.

Does anyone have any advice on where a new OEM top for a 2005 roadster can be found? I don't want to have to wait months/years.

Thanks in advance.
So sorry to hear about it, and it really hit home.

I had my top vandalized back in early June. The top was cut on one of the few times I didn't have it in the garage. The dealer basically told me the same thing and that was that they were on back order, however it cam in about a week later. The dealer than irritated me so I took it to another dealer instead. It took them about a week to get the top in as well. It may not take as long as you might think.
